Q: How far can a drain vent be from a washer drain?

• <div><p>The maximum distance between a washer drain vent and the drainpipe depends on pipe size. A one-and-a-half-inch drainpipe can be no more than 42 inches from the drain vent, a 2-inch drainpipe can be no more than 5 feet away, a 3-inch pipe can be up to 6 feet away, and a 4-inch pipe can be up to 10 feet away.</p></div>

Q: What happens when a backflow valve fails?

• <div><p>When a backflow valve fails, wastewater will flow back into your system, contaminating your drinking water. You&rsquo;ll immediately notice backflow valve failure from a rotten smell and brown water coming from faucets. Get in contact with a septic pro or a plumber immediately if you suspect this has happened to you. </p></div>

Q: Does shower water go into a septic tank?

• <div><p>Yes, shower water goes into the septic tank. Shower water is a type of greywater, and in fact, all water used in a home with a septic system&mdash;including water from sinks, toilets, the dishwasher, and the washing machine&mdash;drains into the tank. When shower water enters the tank, debris like soap and hair travels with it. The solid debris sinks to the bottom to become sludge, while soap residue joins the scum layer at the top. The remaining water is treated in the tank before moving to the drain field for further treatment and dispersal. It is important to avoid putting oil or harsh chemicals down any drain, as they can cause clogs or disrupt the beneficial bacteria required for proper wastewater management in the septic system.</p></div>

Q: What is the best way to clean a main sewer line?

• <div><p>An active cleaning agent and a drain snake is the best way to clean a main sewer line. You can purchase a regular or enzyme drain cleaner or make a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-make-eco-friendly-drain-cleaner.htm">DIY drain cleaner with baking soda</a>. Use your chosen solution at least once a month or as needed to keep your sewer line clear. </p></div>

Q: What causes the toilet handle to get stuck?

• <div><p>Toilet handles can get stuck for a couple of reasons, but it&rsquo;s commonly an issue with the chain. Remove the lid and check the chain&rsquo;s connection, running from the flapper to the handle arm. Sometimes the chain gets snagged on or against another part of the tank. </p><p>The chain might not have the right tension. For example, a chain that&rsquo;s too short can make the handle feel stuck. Check that there&rsquo;s some slack in the chain. Old, worn-out flappers can get stuck, too. In this case, you&rsquo;ll need to see <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-size-toilet-flapper-do-i-need.htm">which size toilet flapper you need</a>.</p></div>

"I used Tin Lizzee to diagnosis my refrigerator. John S. was very knowledgeable and helpful in diagnosing the problem. Lucky for us it was a minor repair. This is a wonderful service that was quick and efficient and affordable. Unlike the other place that I called that wanted to charge me $89-129 for a diagnostic and could not come out until about 2 weeks later. I definitely will use Tin Lizzee again for future appliance issues. I will tell all my friends and family about this service also. Thank you John S and Tin Lizzee for such wonderful customer service."

"It was great. We just haven't done anything at all with it. The responsiveness of the guy was very good. I think it was just not quite what we were looking for. It wasn't that their price was really high. I think it was just the price that we decided. Instead of just redoing the whole thing. we decided to do a fraction of it. The quote was about $5000. Their professionalism is great. We just need the plumbing redone and then that little section re-tiled. I don't think they would do just a little bit. With ReBath, they do the whole system."
